Getting Status Totals in PowerShell

I was doing an Exchange migration on the weekend and had a large number of move requests. Being the slightly OCD computer person as most of us are, I wanted to see how things were progressing occasionally. However, I didn't want to be dumping stuff into spreadsheets and be counting items.

After few false starts, I ran across the Group-Object cmdlet. For me, this cmdlet is in the same category as Measure-Object. I've never had a need in the past. Now I'm happy to have it.
